73-1155 leading a flightline of T-43A Gators. The modified 737-200 was used by the USAF for training navigators. The USAF had 19 on strength. The T-43 was retired by the USAF Air Education and Training Command in 2010 after 37 years of service. They were initially assigned to the 455th Flying Training Squadron, part of the 323rd Flying Training Wing of the Air Training Command (ATC) at Mather AFB (CA), plus two additional aircraft assigned to the Colorado ANG at Peterson AFB (CO) to support introductory air navigation training for cadets at the USAF Academy. The 323rd was inactivated in 1993.

This was originally a C-47B. In Jul-1945 it was converted to C-47D, in Jul-1948 to VC-47D, in Jun-1966 it became a RC-47P and in May-1967 an EC-47P. In Aug-1972 it was transferred to the South Vietnamese AF as 348886, but returned to the USAF in Jun-1975. By 1982 it had ended up in the Sentosa collection, but it was scrapped in 1989.

Gate-guard at George AFB, home of two wings of F-4 Phantoms back in 1980. Today, the airfield is now known as Victorville, Southern California Logistics Airport.

57-6468 was the first production B-52G. At the time the photo was taken it was the oldest B-52 still in service, hence the name "Eldership". The aircraft was retired just one month later. The nose logo can be seen here
